Enantio- and Regioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Allylic Hydroxylation
摘要:
The first enantioselective allylic hydroxylation to prepare branched allylic alcohols directly is described. Bicarbonate was used as nucleophile in conjunction with new single component Ir-catalysts, which are stable to air and water. Excellent regio- and enantioselectivities have been achieved with a representative set of substrates.
